Cantor set

Wabulon, a blagger at Gene Callahan’s Crash Landing, wrote a post that Kelly would probably like about the Cantor set. I didn’t get it at all. I used to be good at math, really good, before I got too close to that vast discipline known as number theory. I never thought I could or should try to succeed at all that theoretical stuff. (Then again, I think I remember hearing that number theory referred to the mathematics of the integers, and the Cantor set seems to be precisely about non-integers, so…I don’t know what you’d call it.)
